Increased Flexibility Programme

Mrs. Anne Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether the 14–16 Increased Flexibility Programme will be continued. [201265]

Mr. Miliband: An announcement will be made shortly.

Physical Education Teachers

Hugh Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many qualified physical education teachers were teaching in (a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in 2004; and what the figures were for 1997. [202720]

Mr. Miliband: Primary school teachers are trained to deliver all subjects in the national curriculum including PE.

Information on the numbers of teachers of PE in secondary schools and their qualifications was collected in November 1996 and 2002.
 
6 Dec 2004 : Column 302W
 

The following table gives the number of full-time teachers in maintained secondary schools who taught some PE, year groups seven to 13, and the highest post A level qualification held in the subject for those years.

Degree (percentage)2511
BEd (percentage)3134
PGCE (percentage)65
Certificate of education (percentage)1323
Other qualification (percentage)2(19)
No qualification (percentage)2226
Total teachers (thousand)2120


(19) Equals zero or less than 0.5 per cent.
Notes:
1. The sum of the percentages may not equal 100 due to rounding.
2. Teachers may also teach subjects other than PE.
3. The degree category includes higher degrees but exclude BEds.
4. Where a teacher has more than one post A level qualification in PE, the qualification level is determined by the highest level reading from left (Degree) to right (Other Qualification). For example, teachers shown under PGCE have a PGCE but not a degree or BEd in PE, while those with a PGCE and a degree are shown only under Degree.

Primary School Teachers

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many primary school teachers there are in (a) England, (b) each region and (c) each local education authority, broken down by (i) race and (ii) gender. [201678]


 
6 Dec 2004 : Column 304W
 

Mr. Miliband: Information on the ethnic origin of teachers in the maintained sector is collected annually, but cannot be split by gender or phase of education. A breakdown of the information available for January 2004 at national, regional and LEA level was published in SFR 34/2004, Table 18. A copy of this has been placed in the House of Commons Library. It is also available at the following URL: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000493/index.shtml

The following table gives the headcount number of qualified full-time and part-time primary teachers employed in maintained nursery and primary schools by gender for England, by region and LEA at March 2003, (the latest information available by gender).
